I purchased these cots last summer for my daughter and I on our camping trip. This is why I like it:
Substantial:
These cots are VERY substantial and sturdy! Even though it only sits on 3 legs, I noticed that the cot never shifted under my weight, didn't sink in very deeply when I sat or lay on it, and didn't shift during the night (even if I tossed and turned!) The bed was long enough for me to sleep comfortably (I'm 5'6"), with plenty of space past my feet.
Quality of sleep:
The first night I used it, I did not put any camping mats on it - only my sleeping bag. I found it very comfortable, and had no problems going to sleep and staying asleep. The second night, I decided to add my camping mat, and discovered that my rest was even more comfortable than the night before! The only hassle that I had was my pillow slipping off the mat. After purchasing clamps (and clamping it down on the sides), my pillow stopped slipping.
Easy to fold and unfold:
One thing that stood out to me about this cot compared to others when I considered purchasing it, was that it was easier to store and fold. It took a little arm strength, but after 2 nights, my daughter and I became use to folding it back up after use (just make sure that you have plenty of space to fold/un-fold the legs). Since the cot sits on 3 legs (2 of which that you must unfold), all one has to do is unfold the first leg (until it "snaps" into place), and unfold the second leg (until it "snaps" into place). That's it!
To fold it back up, simply reverse the process! I found it helpful to fold in 1 of the legs, then fold the cot in half, and proceed to fold the second leg in.
Storage:
The cot has a velcro latch to secure the cot to keep it from unfolding while storing it.
When the cot is folded up, it does not take up a lot of space. The company provided storage bags for the cot which was helpful to keep them clean. When folded, it can stand on its own, or lay flat on the ground. You can easily fit it in a closet, in the backseat or trunk of your car, or even underneath your bed. It is a little heavy, as the frame is made out of metal. However, it is not hard to lift, and is easy to move around.
Easy to clean:
Either spray it down with lysol, or use a cloth and soap. It can air-dry :)
Overall, I highly recommend getting these cots! Whether you are going camping or simply need an extra bed in the house, you and/or your guests will rest comfortably!
